The physical constitution
of Man struggles within itself constantly
- with its accommodation of the many streams of evolution
concurrently co-existing within.

The memory systems within
the body, and of the mind of the body, have gradually and
progressively evolved capturing the cunning and intelligence, the
format and composure, of the various ‘anima’ periods throughout
the history of it all.

The Chinese attributions
of Zodiac hold to similar principles, yet not of the topic today. It
could be said that the evolution of the human form and function is
distinctly more elemental at its foundations of physical existence -
that subset being the cornerstone to Chinese doctrines subscribing to
such divisions given also.

Fish are born of the
sea, and birds are born of the sky. The
soul of Man lives in both water and sky, and has the fish and the
bird manifest within him. So too, the oceans dwell in Man, as dothe Cosmic vapors: the
breath of the Gods.

And just as the Holy
Graal is the sacrum and host of the planetary being; and just as the
divine and lasting epic of the Gods is truly what is to come, rather
that what has been given in myth; it is also a plain truth that the
Arcadian of Noah is
the living vessel of each man - for not only is the Kingdom of Heaven
within, so also is the Kingdom of Earth.

Returning to the
principles of water and air we find that the most ancient of life
forms entered this world through the airy and fluidic gateways
firstly. Physical life took root by the grace and blessed permission
of the hosts of the ethers and the angels of the watery elements.
Life was then given mirrors for the spirit within that these two
states of being might qualify the myriad of manifestations to come.

This
happening was not simply of form, or the ability to hold presence in
this world but also the spiritual gifts and qualities of both the air
and the sea were imparted - of the beings of time and the angelic
realm themselves, that flew in on the ideas of the gods, who with
swift grace lit the empty landscape and waiting spaces with their
visions from afar.

It is often concurred
that simply because something may dwell outside of us it may not
concurrently and also take residence inside of us: yet this is not
the case, for indeed the opposite is true - namely - if you can see
something (anything) not only does it live and exist outside from you
and is embedded in a reality that it has found to be its common
ground … it also lives inside of your being - having a space and a
nature within that is vast and infinitely expanding the self that is
you.

To say that the Animal
Kingdom was once divorced from Man holds aspects of truth in relation
to the separation at the time of the Fall, and the divisions of being
therein - however the greater truth to be had is that coexistent are
those same animals that have in actuality gone nowhere, and are still
to be found as inhabitants of the nature of men individually and
collectively in dual carriageways of evolution and aspects of karmic
endeavour.

The conductor to this
orchestra of being is Man himself and the composer of the melodies
are the gods beyond.

A shaman might call upon
the animal forces within to dark purpose - for the power of any
species can impose upon the conscious nature of a man and exude
debilitating acrimony. An example of this is where a magician or
‘holy’ man interferes with the animal nature of another human,
calling forth - invoking, awaking the beast within - that it might
disarm or disturb the other. Whether for themselves or for the
control over another, these creatures are not usually licensed to
hold influence enough to have their presence known, but when
energised they can interfere with the operating consciousness that
works to harmonise with surroundings and fellow men.

Creatures by their
ancient natures are limited to their own kind - they are protective
and most antagonistic to all ‘others’. For those individuals to
whom a beast has infected their thinking you can find that their
behaviours are similarly natured - bristling all too easily and wild
around the eyes. Animals are anything but peaceful ordinarily. As
infants there may be a period of play, and as juveniles they can also
take rest from their worries for a time; however their most natural
state is one of fearfulness, hyper-vigilance and agitation.

The plant kingdom is
similarly natured - tenuous to the elements they can be irritated,
troubled, wanting and parched, sad and withering - and even the most
robust of trees feels the pains of the earth and the want for the
clouds there above them.

The natural world
lives in discontent.
The common guided meditation will reflect on the peace of the natural
world, but this is the peace in actuality as perceived by the
individual, not of the reality of the nature within it. Both the
forest and the oceans are verily a place of angst. Beware what
tensions you might come upon if your insights lead you to into these
truths.

Ironically and most
wonderfully the being who holds the greatest capacity for peace - for
satiation, for calm, for simple joy amongst it all, is Man. And that
key to peace is the ordering of the life within and the life without.
